Matt Colbert fundraising for Belong To LGBTQ Youth Ireland

This year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 — for something bigger than myself. 26.2 miles. That’s the distance between comfort and courage, between an ordinary day and a moment that could truly change lives. Every mile I run is a reminder of why I’m doing this — to make a real difference for those who need it most. It’s not just about crossing a finish line; it’s about showing up, pushing through, and turning effort into impact. Your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply cheering me on — means more than words can say. Together, we can take every step a little further. Every mile matters. Every gesture helps. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

About Belong To LGBTQ Youth Ireland

Belong To - LGBTQ+ Youth Ireland is the national organisation supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer young people in Ireland. Since 2003, we have worked with LGBTQ+ young people, between 14 and 23 years, to create a world where they are equal, safe, and valued in the diversity of their identities and experiences. We also advocate and campaign on behalf of young LGBTQ+ people, and offer a specialised LGBTQ+ youth service with a focus on mental and sexual health, alongside drug and alcohol support. We respond to the needs of LGBTQ+ young people in Ireland and we help them thrive.
